With only a few days left, I am going to attempt to do another Year in Review thing here. If you've read any of my previous attempts, sometimes I finish for every thing I talk about (books, movies, wrestling, TV) and sometimes I barely finish one category. Wrestling gets the most traffic around these parts … Continue reading 2018 Year in Review
TLC 2018 Thoughts
